…ts is compatible with actual imbecility. Some imbeciles have been able to store their memories with more knowledge than perhaps any sane man could hope to acquire. This is the great fault of modern education — a child is stuffed with facts, and no attempt is made to explain their connection and bearing. The result is that even the facts themselves are soon forgotten. Any first-rate mind is insulted and irritated by such treatment, and any first-rate memory is in danger of being spoilt by it. No two ideas have any real meaning until they are har…

Gormley) was reading Morrison’s Red Triangle to conceal his emotion. Mr. Austin Harrison, Veli Bey, Madame Strindberg, the Editor of the Zyuinox, and some others, were avoidably absent from the death-bed of the dying saint. Transfusion of blood having been suggested, Crowley readily lent himself to the operation, Neuburg thoughtfully changing to “There is a fountain.” But the physicians had made a…

… the bride in the absence of the bridegroom. It is the sigh of the traveller who thinks of his fatherland. It is the thought of the poor man who works to support his wife and children. Let us pray in silence; let us raise toward our unknown Father a look of confidence and of love; let us accept with faith and resignation the part which He assigns to us in the toils of life, and every throb of our hearts will be a word of prayer! Have we need to inform God of what we ask from Him? Does not He know what is necessary for us? If we weep, let us off…

…ngle Suprême Ritual is the attainment of the Knowledge and Conver¬ sation of the Holy Guardian Angel. It is the raisin g of the complété man in a vertical straight line. Any déviation from tliis line tends to become black magic. Any otlier operation is black magic. In the True Operation the Exaltation is equilibrated by an expansion in the other three arms of the Cross. Hence the Angel immediately gives the Adept power over the Four Great Princes and their servitors. 1 If the magician needs to perform any other operation than this, it is only l…

…cting the essentials. Grant Allen made a very slipshod experiment in this line; so have some of the polemical rationalists; but the only man worthy of our notice is Frazer of the Golden Bough. Here, again, there is no tabulation; for us it is left to sacrifice literary charm, and even some accuracy, in order to bring out the one great point. This: That when a Japanese thinks of Hachiman, and a Boer of the Lord of Hosts, they are not two thoughts, but one. The cause of human sectarianism is not lack of sympathy in thought, but in speech ; and th…

…iscovered . It has taken 100,000,000 years to produce Aleister Crowley . The world has indeed laboured , and has at last brought forth a man . Bacon blames the ancient and scholastic philosophers for spinning webs , like spiders out of their own entrails ; the reproach is perhaps unjust , but out of the web of these spiders , Crowley has himself twisted a subtle cord , on which he has suspended the universe , and swinging it round has sent the whole fickle world conception of these excogitating spiders into those realms which lie behind Time an…

THE EQUINOX knights and join the Saracen army? That were only to change the balance, to change the cross, soaked in the blood of humanity, for the crescent, pale flame of madness. Oh could I destroy both! . . . Forty years ago I strove to reconcile them by love, by sympathy. What came of it? A frolic crime, sterile as all my thoughts are. Nothing, nothing has ever come of anything that I have ever done. Yet that came nearest to success; for it was my one touch of love. I have never loved since, as most surely I had never loved before.

…h can eat into the steel, is further that which is written. Liber LXV, i, i6: "As an acid eats into steel ... so am I unto the Spirit of Man." Note how closely woven into itself is all this symbolism ! The centre of Ruach being the heart, it is seen that this Sword of the Ruach must be thrust by the Magician into his own heart. But there is a subsequent task, of which it is spoken —Liber VII, V, 47. " He shall await the sword of the Beloved and bare his throat for the stroke." In the throat is Daath —the throne of Ruach. Daath is Knowledge. Thi…
